Sjack Abeling Gravity Wheel and the Worlds first Weight Power Plant

[Cherryman]

@Cherryman: in DXF..zipped

TNx I will play with it!

Using Cherrymans wheel I can visualize the violent launch of the weights near 12 o clock position.

Now, if you can keep the weight in its socket you may have something.

There are small bursts of acceleration, but again the ball needs to be kept locked into place to get full benefit from the launch. The launch is a scissors effect.

Model attached with an initial momentum of -0.200 rad/s but WITHOUT MOTOR.

Turns for a while (friction less environ)

I´ll see if I can lock those balls

Locking is important. Good luck!

It seems to work, no loss for now... Must be doing something wrong

@AquiriuZ: Take picture 8 from the patent and bend back the ends near the axle, so the angle pushing the weight up has a smaller vector in the horizontal plane

Very nice animation, eisenficker.  I have to say I agree with AquiriuZ about the overall curve of the spokes.  (I am not talking about the very end part -- you might have that right.)  Look at patent diagrams 2, 4 & 5.  I imagine a spoke scooping up a weight and then hurling it, similar to a lacrosse stick hurling a ball.  The curve in the direction of travel adds speed to the weight.

The old rule of the good engineer. LOL

You are doing great. And, thanks for the translation. @Cherryman and @eisenficker2000 (who found the correct design first) are fantastic too. Keep up the good work guys. Looking forward to @Cherryman's wm2d file of @eisenficker2000 dxf's.
